Collaborative Robot (Cobot) Safety and Guarding Motion
Cobots must move gently, predictably, and safely alongside people and sensitive equipment.
Safe, Predictable Motion for Human-Robot Collaboration
Helix components support controlled, self-locking, and low-backlash movement—ideal for safety mechanisms, guarded motion, and human-interaction zones.
Helix Solutions for Cobot Safety Systems
Self-locking lead screws, low-friction linear guides, and controlled-force actuators help cobots maintain safe trajectories, controlled stops, and stable positioning around humans.
Key Benefits:
- Self-locking motion systems for safe operation
- Smooth, predictable movement near humans
- Low-backlash assemblies for stable interaction
- Durability for 24/7 industrial cobot environments
Helix helps ensure cobots move safely, smoothly, and confidently.

Custom Motion Components for Robotics & Humanoid Robot OEMs
Robotics OEMs face growing demands for lighter, faster, and more intelligent motion systems, whether developing collaborative robots, humanoids, autonomous platforms, surgical robots, warehouse automation, or next-generation service robots. Helix Linear Technologies partners with robotics innovators to engineer precision lead screws, ball screws, linear actuators, and miniature motion systems that deliver smooth, accurate, and reliable performance in compact, high-duty environments.
Our engineering team collaborates directly with robotics designers to optimize motion components for weight reduction, footprint constraints, multi-axis synchronization, back-drivability, noise reduction, and long-life operation. Every component is built for integration by matching the joint, limb, actuator, or control mechanism of your robot with motion that is predictable, quiet, and exceptionally stable.
Key Benefits:
✦ Lightweight, high-precision motion systems ideal for humanoids, cobots, and autonomous robots
✦ Smooth, low-noise actuation optimized for joint modules, manipulators, end-effectors, and linear stages
✦ Custom diameters, leads, coatings, and materials to balance torque, load, speed, and efficiency
✦ Miniature and micro-precision options for compact robotic joints, sensor modules, grippers, and mobility systems
✦ High-duty-cycle reliability for continuous motion in industrial, commercial, and service environments
From robotic joints to mobility platforms, Helix delivers the precision motion technology that empowers smarter, faster, and more capable machines.
